Apollo observes World Stroke Day

Apollo Hospitals Dhaka has joined forces with stroke campaigners around the world on World Stroke Day on the October 29, as part of the global effort to raise awareness of stroke for women.

Globally women run a higher risk of stroke and are more likely than men to die as a result. A stroke happens when the blood supply to part of a person's brain is cut off.

The event provided an intensive discussion on advanced treatments and prevention methods for stroke, including 24-hour thrombolytic therapy, which is performed only at Apollo Hospitals Dhaka.
